Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Lightning

[Mac n Gs]

3 of Cally's goals against us have been absolute gifts from Stamkos that any ordinary player could put in the net. Once McD comes back and shakes off the rust, we'll be fine again

Or maybe Callahan is a much better player than he was every given for being by too many posters here.

No Callahan option in the poll?

All jokes aside, we got ****in schooled both games.

We actually didn't this game

He was a very good player in 11-12, not so much since then. I don't know how you can just ignore the Stamkos factor.

You do realize Stamkos literally gifted him those goals, right?

So did we by leaving him wide open

Did I say he was a bad player? Watch the goals, all of the effort is done by Stamkos to either skate or deke around our defense and then he gets the puck to Cally who has a wide open net. Callahan is a very good player, but his stats are as much a byproduct of playing with Stamkos as Kunitz is with Crosby.

Callahan is a very good 2nd line player and is definitely capable of playing of the 1st line. We've seen that here in NY.

But playing with a player like Stamkos will most definitely make his life scoring easier. His 2nd goal was put on a silver platter for him.

Callahan's face when celebrating that goal last night really irritated me, and it's getting play in every highlight I've seen of this game. Cockier than I ever remember him being here.

You can tell he still has something to prove, and he's proving it. He's ****ing destroying us.

Makes you wonder if there's some old boys club mentality in the locker room here (who am I kidding, of course there is).

Guys like Dubinsky still play us like they're holding a ****ing grudge. I don't see ex-players for other teams getting so worked up.

Yeah, but not by Stamkos.

That was a strange game. I mean, Joe and Sam kept on complaining about the Rangers single shot on goal halfway through the 2nd period, while never mentioning that Tampa only had 2.

The Rangers, except Boyle and Nash, were handling the puck like it was carrying the avian flu all night long. The Lightning weren't any better. The only thing more inexplicable was the penalty on Zuccarello. Yet there were still 7 goals scored.

It was just a bad hockey game all around.

Yeah, I'm not satisfied with his excessive celebration on that goal either. It's like he won the cup with an OT goal or something.

 

[Loff]

Tampa is just too much. Speed, power and finesse on every mother****ing line. They have burned us for years too, even when they sucked.

How would know? He doesn't score in the Playoffs

It was. Stamkos did all the work.

Actually every time we played tampa I was so worried that MSL was going to light us up. And he did every time. The style of hockey they play is fun to watch but come playoffs time they'll have trouble with that style and if they can't defend more MTL will again light them up.
